Actually, plasma-widget-network-manager depends on plasma-widget-networkmanagement I just ran a aptitude update some minutes ago and removed plasma-widget-networkmanagement with aptitude. It also removed plasma-widget-network-manager, saying it was broken and gave me a "solution": install the gnome network manager applet and the mobile network provider info: nm-* mobile-broadband-provider-info As I did in Gnome a long time ago, I ran nm-applet; For my surprise, gnome applets are now pretty integrated in KDE, with cool notifications and all that stuff. It's not connecting, though. After the connection was created I tried to connect, the modem gives connected signal but nm-applet stays "connecting". Well, falling back to pon/poff again. =P Please let me know about any thoughts/news. =] <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 1:37 AM, Michael Krueger <<a href="mailto:mickrulist@voipfuture.com">mickrulist@voipfuture.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Hi, I had somewhat similar problems. The issue is that there are multiple choices if you search with apt for networkmanager. For kde4 there seem to be two options. There is the "old" network manager for plasma called: plasma-widget-networkmanagement which I believe I had installed but caused the bahavior you describe, meaning it did not connect to any network. I was able to setup WLAN connections with it, but it would not talk to the networkmanager backend to actually establish a connection. Then I found the second choice which actually worked for me: plasma-widget-network-manager The knetworkmanager is uninstalled and not in use. This is in KDE 4.3. I'm not sure, maybe it was something else I did, but my best bet is that you scan the options made available by the package manager and verify what you have installed.
